Many societies have educated their male children on the simple device of teaching them not to be women.

When girls are educated, you get effects that cascade throughout society.

If we create a generation of men who aren't getting an education, that's bad for women.

At any rate, girls are differently situated. Having no need of deep scientific knowledge, their education is confined more to the ordinary things of the world, the study of the fine arts, and of the manners and dispositions of people.

But, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?

Education liberates a woman.

There is a reason you keep hearing about the power of educating girls in the developing world. It's a reason so simple that you will probably view it with suspicion, as I once did. It's this: educating girls works. Really works.

There is a great reform required in the education and habits of females.

If I had girls to educate I would not have them learn both music and drawing.
